I have a bolt stuck in and I cant get it out. It seems that the bolt and the metal sleeve inside the bush have stuck themselves together. I can rotate the bolt with a spanner but im bored doing that now. I have tried generous applications of wd40, plusgas and some other stuff over the last couple of weeks but it aint going nowhere. I have also tried beating it severely with a variety of hammers. There isnt enough room at the side to get a grinder in without damaging either the bracket or the end of the arm . anyone got any clever ideas.

you'd need steady hands to cut along the orange lines... which bit are you replacing so you can sacrifice it....

a semi trained chimp could cut along that orange line, it's just the bush - all he needs is two cuts through to part the bolt - the arm will then lift so he can beat the bush and the sleeve out
 
Ah wonder if he stuck the nut back on a wee bit and hit it with a hammer whilst stickin' a spanner on the other end and twistin'/pullin' it at the same time?? Dun't matter if the bolt got fecked as new ones are quite cheap anyways and sometimes recommended to change it anyways;)

BTW slaphead, mind and stick some copper grease in there when ye stick it back together.. easier to take it back out the next time;):D
